I'm well aware of that. Clemson is my 2nd favorite team. Dixon was still in line to be their top guy in 21.

Well, Bowmans Certainly the Gators top guy now.
Guess we'll never know
No one knows the future but there's a very high likelihood that Bowman would have still been a backup. Dixon hurt his knee during Fall Camp this year. But he's proven to be a very good back.
There’s more to the JD thing than Frost. It sucks losing contributors but really these guys aren’t irreplaceable.
Possibly
I just know Bowman is projected three and done, runs a 4.47, is bigger, and has a mid 10 100 meter
Dixon was a low 4 star, if you believe in such things
How'd we fare in replacing JD's production in 2020?
There are kids out there that will be better than JD.
I hope you're right, but we've yet to see it.
This year was a very odd year, still is, but I wont go there.
To evaluate off of this year is tough, and while few teams have lost more, no teams are as unique as us either, as our location has always been a greater burden in our recruiting, and we've taken plenty of chances over several staffs.
If you werent familiar with how things were before on attrition, we could start listing names of no shows, hangers on that wouldnt or couldnt transfer, guys who got hurt we honored their schollys, where other teams found ways to rid themselves of healthy players etc etc.
We win, it all goes away, except the learning, that never ends

Not possibly. Highly likely. I'm not just looking stuff up trying to make a silly comparison. Dixon averaged nearly 9 ypc his true freshman year. Over 6 ypc his sophomore year. Playing a lot. He's very good healthy. Bowman got a few carries against Wake Forest and The Citadel in mop up duty. Big deal. Yes, he's talented. He still wasn't unseating Dixon next year. He would have played a lot. But it's not at all akin to us losing our best skill players in back to back years.
We see these kids at other schools. We just don’t seem to see them here yet. I know I’ve been hard on JD but honestly he’s not a top three round guy to me. He doesn’t have elite speed or size. I’m not saying he’s not good but we should be able to recruit a stud wide receiver some day. Maybe Betts, Manning, or the new transfer??
You sure?
And no, I never said both players, you adding on too?
So, in your opinion, was he Clemsons seventh best back?

I believe JD had his unique issues, but what precipitated that we'll never know. His moving on was probably for the best of all involved. We still haven't replaced Morgan's production either. We've gotta start hitting on recruits and transfers at these WR positions. I don't know if it's scheme, development, or poor evaluation by the staff during recruitment, but something is definitely amiss there.
Stans production has been missed more than Wandales will be.
No one close to Stan, JD was close to Wandale in production.
We can easily get another JD or better. If we dont already have one
JD and WR had different roles so comparing them is a little like comparing apples to oranges. Most of WR's production was on the ground when he was used as a running back.
